**DLO BROWNING 1919 AIRCRAFT MACHINE GUN (FULLY TRANS). SN 86-70061. Cal. 30-06. 24″ bbl with an overall length of 38.5″. Built on a DLO sideplate. This aircraft version of the famous Browning 1919 design, best resembles the Colt MG40 flexible machine gun in its current configuration. The very light bbl when compared to the standard 1919 ground guns delivered a very fast cyclic rate. Features unique to this design include the slotted bbl shroud and spade grips. This light weight variant was available in both left or right hand feed and this example is set up for left hand feed. Rear sight behind top cover are adjustable for windage and elevation. Front sight, non-adjustable folding post. Includes an M2 tripod including pintle traverse and elevation mechanism. CONDITION: Excellent. Rifling is very sharp and pronounced showing very little wear if any. Mechanism when cycled by hand is very smooth and appears to function correctly. Gun is parkerized in a light gray with some very minor light patina on sideplates. Spade grips have normal dings and dents as typical on period guns. T&E mechanism functions very smooth and fluid and tripod is in outstanding condition. 4-44960 JZ44 (12,500-17,500)
